About

Located in the scenic corner of Cook Street and Park Boulevard, the Victoria Bowls and Croquet Club is more than just a sports venue—it’s a social hub. Our mission is to provide a welcoming, member-driven atmosphere where tradition meets modern recreation. With two meticulously maintained greens and a fully equipped clubhouse, we provide a central escape for residents of James Bay, Fairfield, and downtown Victoria. Our vision is to remain a vibrant community pillar where neighbors connect, stay active, and enjoy the spirit of friendly competition for generations to come. We are a registered non-profit (BC Registration - S0000209). Contact us with any questions

Our History

Founded in 1909 as the Beacon Hill Bowling Club, we are one of Western Canada's longest-standing sporting institutions. For over 117 years, our club has remained a constant in Beacon Hill Park, evolving from a modest first green into a premier destination for both lawn bowling and croquet. From hosting international Empire tours in the 1920s to the amalgamation of our Men’s and Women’s clubs in 1981, our history is a testament to the enduring appeal of life on the green. Today, we continue to honor that legacy by fostering the same sportsmanship and community spirit that our founders envisioned over a century ago.
